关于 TAS2R5

功能概要

该基因编码苦味受体；苦味受体是 G 蛋白偶联受体超家族的成员，由舌和上颚上皮的味觉受体细胞特异性表达。这些明显无内含子的味觉受体基因中的每一个都编码一个 7 跨膜受体蛋白，作为苦味受体发挥作用。该基因与 7 号染色体上的另外 3 个候选味觉受体基因聚集在一起，并与影响苦味感知的基因座有遗传联系。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

This gene encodes a bitter taste receptor; bitter taste receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and are specifically expressed by Taste Receptor cells of the tongue and palate epithelia. Each of these apparently intronless Taste Receptor genes encodes a 7-transmembrane receptor protein, functioning as a bitter Taste Receptor. This gene is clustered with another 3 candidate Taste Receptor genes on chromosome 7 and is genetically linked to loci that influence bitter perception. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
